Dear Rocco,

One of my dear friends is retire military and keeps a firearm on his side at all times no matter where we go. I realize it’s legal where we live but it makes me feel uncomfortable at times. I don’t know if I should say anything to him about it because quite honestly I don’t know how to react. What should I do?

Dear MC,

Grow a pair. It’s not the gun that is at fault it is the person brandishing it. If this guy is truly your friend you shouldn’t be uncomfortable that he has a gun you should actually feel more comfortable because if something were to happen he is more than likely going to protect you from harm’s way. The problem with guns in this country as well as booze, drugs and alcohol is this – education. If people learned the proper uses and ways to operate these various devices we wouldn’t have the problems we have today in society. Remember, alcohol originally had medicinal purposes and beer was derived so there would be clean drinking water. Most of your illegal drugs were once used by our great grandparents under the direction of a doctor, and cars – we’ll parents tend to throw their keys to their kids as soon as they get their license to get them out of their hair. Education goes a long way and most of you do nothing but point fingers.

Dear Rocco,

Charlie Sheen’s recent HIV diagnosis was a shock to me and the fact he had unprotected sex with a number of women after he was diagnosed not only shocks me it bothers and angers me. What do you think?

DD

Dear DD,

I don’t really care. I wasn’t surprised he was diagnosed with HIV, I’m just surprised it took this long. That’s like being surprised that former Stone Temple Pilots front man Scott Weiland died of an overdose. Yu seem to forget that Sheen made millions and millions of dollars and still continues to off of residuals of a TV show (Two and a Half Men) where he played drunken man whore. The women who slept with him after the diagnosis – I have no sympathy for. His sexual history is pretty well documented and to be frank they are probably whores as well. They all made their own bed and now you know what they decided to do in it.

Dear Rocco,

My dad got remarried again for what seems like the hundredth time. This time it was to a girl I went to school with. I don’t know if I should feel creeped out that I used to share homeroom with my new “mom”.

Dear HJ,

Unless you are currently in high school lighten up. The authorities would have already gotten him. They are both consensual adults and people realize true love knows no age, race or gender. As long as they really do love each other who cares and I would hope you have other things to worry about other than your inheritance.

Dear Rocco,

I have this friend and while she isn’t my girlfriend she is one of my best friends and to be honest at times I would like her to be my girlfriend. We rarely get to see each other in person any more because of our schedules but keep in contact through texts and social media. She is always sending me messages that she misses me. I’ve tried to get together with her, altering my schedule but then she’ll never answer me back. I’m getting a little frustrated and this has been going on longer than what I’m willing to admit. Andy advice?

FT

Dear FT,

Kick her to the curb. You are her safety net when all else fails. I’ll bet she calls you a ton after breaking up with her latest boyfriend. If you actually love her tell her how you really feel. Otherwise there are much better fish in the sea. Remember, f she’s that great why hasn’t she settled with one person instead of calling you when she needs an ego boost.
